Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut

Anexcellent game marred by object clipping problems and an outdated camera. Still fun as hell though; 7/10

Shadow the Hedgehog (Player's Choice)

A misunderstood title. Much like a teenager, this game can't quite make up it's mind what it wants to be. It lacks identity and has some flaws, but is still a good play-through; 7/10

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Harry Potter's first game is a good'un, but very hard later on, which becomes off-putting; 6/10

Sonic Heroes

An excellent game with great graphics and a real classic feel. It spices up the Sonic gameplay with switchable characters. The levels are large and varied, the music fantastic and funky, and the controls are tight. Despite having the same camera style as the previous games, it greatly improves on everything the previous 3D outings offered, and had a great ending, albeit a cheesy one; 9/10

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (Reprint)

A well presented game; emotional, creative and varied gameplay, which suffers only due to an occasionally odd camera angle and repetitive treasure hunting and mech-blasting. Not everyone likes that in their Sonic games, but it passes here; 8/10

Sega Smash Pack

A trio of MegaDrive titles that are all well emulated, but lack save features. GoldenAxe should have been two player too; 7/10

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter

A great game with tonnes to do. Makes you feel like you're Jango Fett, and seeing as how he's more or less a more advanced Boba Fett, that's a great thing; 8/10

Sonic Advance 2

As good as the first title, and the game that got me back in to Sonic after many years hiatus; PERFECT.

Sonic Mega Collection

Hey! Do you want a collection of the best games of the 90's all on one tiny disc with loads of cool extras? Yo do? Well, that's just grand. PERFECT.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 (2 Bonus e-Reader Cards)

If you love the NES version, this is even better. Seeing as the NES version is a perfect game, how can this one NOT be? PERFECT.

Sonic Heroes

The PS2 version suffers due to squashed graphics and a low framerate, as well as problems switching characters. Still a good game, but not as good as on GameCube; 7/10

James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing

Own it on both the PS2 and the Gamecube, good on both, but not without flaws; 8/10

Chokkan Hitofude

A great puzzle game which lacks some charm, but is totally addictive; 8/10

Sonic Advance 3

Awesome game, but not as good as the first two, which were pretty much perfect; 9/10

Pokemon FireRed Version

Awesome remake of an awesome game. The original got me in to Pokémon and this one carried the frenzy on; 9/10

Famicom Mini: Super Mario Bros.

The game that started it all. It's as playable today as it was back in 1985. What more do you want? PERFECT.

Famicom Mini: Zelda no Densetsu

Great game, but hasn't stood the test of time as well as Mario. It's quite repetitive and cryptic. The sequels from the SNES onward are far better- 8/10

Super Mario 64 DS

The quintessential 3D platformer is better on the DS than it was on the N64. That's pretty hard to accomplish; 9/10

Sonic Rush

Despite not being what I thought it would be, this is a fantastic game and builds more on Sonic's speed than his platforming skills; 9/10

Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force

A decent game, but a rushed one with a lot of odd design choices which don't do it any favours; 7/10

Classic NES Series: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

A great game, but a disgustingly difficult one. The music is fantastic though, and it epitomizes the NES era of gaming; 7/10

Ridge Racer DS

Decent graphics and a good multiplayer which doesn't require others to own the game. it's a good game, but at later stages the handling of the cars becomes extremely difficult, and the last few races become absurd tests of patience and memorization, rather than pure skill. It took me well over 5 years to win the last few races, and haven't even gotten close to finishing the last one-on-one car race, which I suppose I'll never do. I find solace in the fact that I don't think anyone else ever has or will either, though; 7/10.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Limited Edition)

This is a game that sucks you in. It' makes you feel sadness, joy, anger. It's long, it uses the GameBoy Advance in an interesting way, It's controls are perfect, it's music is beautiful, it's visuals are gorgeous. It's a timeless classic everyone should play. PERFECT

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

The second installment is much better than the first, with decent graphics, well thought out puzzles and concepts, and some beautiful music in some parts; 7/10

Guitar Hero World Tour

Another Guitar Hero. Still nice, but lacks anything innovative. 7/10

Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII

Shooting Nazi's in planes has never been more fun, though the game is restricted due to the very content it offers; it can get repetitive, though the semi-realistic controls with the Wiimote and Nunchuck are refreshing. 7/10.

Call of Duty 3

What would have been a great game became soiled by the lack of multiplayer, lack of control otpions and horrendous slowdown in combat scenes in the PAL version. 5/10.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

A great game, but the graphics aren't too great, which was a major selling point of the other versions. 7/10.

New Super Mario Bros.

Apart from the annoying name which will lost it's NEW a few months after release, NEW Super MArio Bros is a great game with as much to offer as the originals. It falls short in that it doesn't offer much more that we haven't seen before, though what it does invent is cool and well thought out; 9/10

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Reflex Edition

Despite having less options for the Wiimote cursor than more recent instalments meaning that it feels slightly different to control, this is a near perfect port of the shooter that redefined war games, and the online is also pretty sweet. 8/10.

Tomb Raider: Underworld

The Conduit

A decent game with nice fluid controls, a thoughtful story and cool weapons. It unfortunately suffers from a broken online multiplayer. You won't have a good time when all the online players choose the same map and explosive weapons... and then hack to win. 6/10.

Guitar Hero 5 (Guitar Bundle)

Yet again ANOTHER Guitar Hero, but this has nicer graphics and more customizable avatars. Still nothing really new to the table. 7/10.

Call of Duty: World at War

An excellent game. Though it's missing an entire level, Zombies mode, half of the online maps and vehicles that are all present in the other versions, the online is still awesome, the sound and graphics are decent, and it portrays WWII remarkably as a grittier affair than most games. The controls are also perfect, and set the standards for any Wii/Wii U shooter; 8/10.

Sonic and the Black Knight

Despite the effort from Sonic Team, this game falls flat due to the insane difficulty in some areas, and sometimes problematic controls. Not a bad game by any means, but nothing you'll want to play through again once you've finished it. 7/10

Medal of Honor Heroes 2

Though the controls are a little stiff it plays well and the button layout is well thought out. The single player is a blast and it also has an additional on-rails arcade mode which is pretty cool. Unfortunately the multiplayer was unbalanced and enemies often took rounds of ammo before they'd die. This was the last conventional Medal of Honour on home consoles before the reboot, and was worthy of being the final call before the reboot. 7/10.

Call of Duty: World at War

Another good DS shoot 'em up, though the controls are still a little blocky. 8/10

Asphalt 4: Elite Racing

Like Need for Speed, but without the pumped up soundtrack. Okay game, but nothing more, nothing less, 6/10

Guitar Rock Tour

No lyrics? MIDI style songs? What a let down. 5/10

Art Style: PiCOPiCT

A funky puzzle game with a lot of retro charm. Addictive as hell too. If you love Tetris, you'll love this. 8/10

James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing

Own it on both the PS2 and the Gamecube, good on both, but not without flaws; 8/10

Sonic Unleashed

If only the Werehog stages weren't so bland, repetitive, full and lifeless, this would be a great game; 6/10.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

A good game. Nice controls, a fun multiplayer, and decent single player. Shame the graphics weren't better. 7/10

Link's Crossbow Training

A decent rail shooter with a Zelda theme. Nothing remarkable, but fun nonetheless: 7/10.

Sonic Rush Adventure

As good as the first, but with the addition of sea travel. It feels like the Wind Waker fused with Sonic Rush, which isn't a bad thing. 9/10

Disney/Pixar Monsters, Inc.

A simple collect-athon with little else to do. 6/10

Pokemon Box: Ruby and Sapphire (GBA Link Cable Pack)

An interesting game which I got free with Pokémon Colosseum, with is less of an actual game and more of a file-organizer. What can I say? It does what it does and that's about it, though it is well presented and easy to use. 7/10

Wii Sports

The only sports game I'd play- a real awesome game which at the time of release, brought gamers and family together in the living room, including my own; 9/10.

Pokemon Trading Card Game

I never got the Trading Card Game rules, and I don't think they're any better explained here. It's a complicated affair compared to the actual games, and the battles last forever. Nothing particularly remarkable here; 6/10

PictoChat

A fun application, which despite what the media say, is not used by pedophiles to coax your kiddies... unless they run around with a Nintendo DS in hand with this application open, in which case they would be about 10 feet from your child anyway, which is pretty obvious. This is a fun app, and comes installed on the DS. 7/10

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

Another great Zelda game. What can I say? 9/10

Game Boy Camera

A fun little gadget with a lot of possibilities, especially if you have the printer to go with it. Some fun mini games and other features come installed on this; it's fun to play a shooter and end up blatting your own face. 7/10

From Russia With Love

Not as good as Everything or Nothing, and the driving sections feel a bit tight on the Gamecube, but it's a good game with a fun head-to-head multiplayer. 8/10

Pocket Monsters Pearl

Another decent Pokémon, but I found it held my attention less for some reason. 8/10

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Playing two player co-op is awesome. This offers a frsh twist to the basic formula which really works. 9/10. It's hard as nails in the later Grand Prix modes though, which does get quite frustrating.

Metroid Prime: Hunters

Not quite Metroid Prime in your palm, as it it easy to lose your way and find yourself stuck. Stylus controls also cramp your hands, so it's a shame they didn't add another control method like the ones they toyed with in the First Hunt demo. Negatives aside, this is a solid game with a nice multiplayer; 7/10.

The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition

Like Sonic Mega Collection, this bundles all the best early Zelda titles in to one package. For Ocarina of Time alone it'd be worth a 10/10, but with Zelda I and II and Majora's Mask, it's perfect. It's a shame that on some rare occasions Majora's Mask can lock up, but those are few and far between. PERFECT.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

A bit of an overrated brawler, but it's got tonnes to offer and is a solid title with al your favourite characters; 8/10

SoulCalibur II

An excellent fighter with superb graphics, great soundtrack and interesting locations and characters. A perfect example of an arcade fighter done well. The Gamecube version also has Link from 'Zelda' as a playable character. 9/10.

Mario Kart Wii (w/ Racing Wheel)

An accessible and fun entry in the Mario Kart series. Lacks any major innovations that weren't in the previous DS entry, and the graphics could have been better, but the online is great and the single player is a blast too. It also has it's very own Wii Channel which even as of 2014 has loads of online worldwide challenges to enter- a game with lots to offer; 8/10.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary

The original was good, and this is better. Shame it doesn't lend you a hand sometimes, as it ca be pretty difficult to figure out what you're doing later on, which isn't fun when you're staring at dark blank tomb walls for hours on end; 8/10

Super Mario Galaxy

The spiritual successor to Mario 64. A great game, though the hub world is frustrating and repetitive to navigate. 8/10.

Disney DuckTales: Remastered

As good as the original NES version with added longevity and additional features. It has stunning artwork and tight controls. 8/10.

Sonic: Lost World

7 Sonic Lost World is a great game that's almost a classic but is instead mildly disabled by poor design decisions. 7/10.

NES Remix

A great game in the style of WarioWare, replacing random mini games with challenges created for classic NES games instead. A great test of skills for retro gamers and newbies alike. Great fun, and cheap too! 8/10

Future Cop: L.A.P.D.

This game didn't sell very well in 1998, with only 200,000 copies shifting on the initial run, not including the re-release on the PlayStation Store. This proves that people don't always buy the right thing. This game was fantastic for it's time, and still holds up well today. It offers a unique experience which I don't think has been used much since, combining arcade-style shooting with some clever RTS-style tactics.The voice acting is brilliant, the controls well arranged, and the 2P mode kicks ass! Even if you're not in to playing through the story mode, you can spend hours lost in Precinct Assault, a game mode whereby you and an AI or another player battle to control turrets and mini-bases across various maps, gaining points to build assault tanks or defense helicopters to take the other player down.

Call of Duty: Ghosts

Another great game from the Call of Duty series. However, whilst it adds a slew of new content such as the guard dog killstreak, extra weapon classes, a squad mode, enhanced sniping view and larger, more destructive maps, it fails due to the fact that existing issues such as host-lag and 'quick scoping' aren't rectified, and new issues such as eve more terrible spawning during multiplayer arrive as additions to the existing problems. 8/10

Animal Crossing

An awesome life sim which plays even when you're not. The game was once described as being "An MMORPG but offline", and that description isn't far off. Surprisingly deep for a game about cutesy looking animals in a forest, this game'll have you spending hours helping the various critters live their lives, collecting items lost or helping with their various trades with other animals. The game changes time and season based on your GameCube clock, which means that there's always something going on. The point of the game is to start with your small home and pay off your mortgage, making it bigger and better every time. There's also tonnes of mini games and side quests to do (or not, if you don't want to) and loads of animals to befriend (or de-friend). The charm comes in building your own style house and collecting furniture and stuff you like to make your home look awesome. There's also a museum to help fill with fossils, insects, fish and collectible works of art, with tonnes of secrets and surprises along the way. As of March 2014 (I got the game on 2nd Feb) I've clocked in over 60 hours, and I've barely discovered half of what the game has to offer. To do everything (optional), you have to play the game during various times if day and night to collect insects that only come out at night or talk to animals that are nocturnal. If you have a buddy with the game, you can visit their tow via their memory card and help them out too by trading, doing their garden work or helping them with their mortgage. Definitely a game to buy if you like home rearrangement or are fed up with the huge amount of action games out there.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

Speed Punks

A great karting game clearly inspired by the likes of Mario Kart. However, this game stands on it's own as a fantastic title with it's own unique themes and characters, each funny and interesting without having to be backed up by a pre-existing franchise. The game differs from other kart games y giving you a boosting ability topped up by collecting regenerating tokens throughout the race courses, and has a slew of well balanced weapons to aid you in your fight to finish first. The game controls well and takes advantage of the analogue sticks of the PS1, and as well as a 2P mode also allows up to 4P with the multi-tap add-on. There's tonnes of unlockables, as well as the ability to save your time-trials on the games various maps. THE essential karting game for PS1, or even PS2.

Assassin's Creed III

Super Mario 3D World

Another fantastic Mario, which is the greatest Mario yet. Whilst there are a few minor issues to iron out, none of the detract from this fantastic game, which offers a fantastic experience in single or multiplayer. Perfect sound and music, perfect controls, perfect graphics, perfect length... PERFECT.

Batman: Arkham City

Command & Conquer

The original Command & Conquer isn't as good as Red Alert or some of the other later sequels, but it's still a blast to play. Whilst the downsides to the game is that there's no skirmish mode and that some of the later stages become unfairly difficult and rely heavily on repeat-trial and error which can take hours or days, It controls well, the music is awesome and the whole thing is very well presented. I'd never seen or heard of a game coming with two discs before this, especially when each disc allowed you to take control of a particular faction in the games universe. Want to be a bad-ass? Be NOD. Wanna save the world? Be GDI. The choice is yours.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

One of the best games ever just got even prettier, and added a host of nice new features. PERFECT.
